About Joan Morais

I am a natural cosmetic and product formulator and instructor. I've written many "how to" eBooks on making natural body, bath, hair and skin care products. I enjoy consulting with product making businesses and individuals on their custom formulations and moving their businesses to the next level. I have been fortunate to have worked with and assisted thousands to learn the art of formulating and producing natural care products.

I am also a certified aromatherapist and herbalist. Through my cosmetic chemistry studies, herbal and aromatherapy studies and enormous amounts of research, I started product formulating and making natural products.

I have always stepped out of the box, faced many challenges and moved forward on trust, depending on myself and the help of others.

My mission in life is to learn every day, treat myself and others with love and respect and do what I love. I believe in possibility and prosperity for all. My motto is “Be It". First, change your mind for the better and your life will naturally change for the better. It is being the change you want to see.

My passion is sharing my love of nature, animals, my joys, and to teach others how to make creative, holistic, and exquisite natural products and create a successful product making business. Sign up to receive email updates from me on new product releases, specials and helpful information here.

I was born on the Hawaiian Island of Kauai, on Kamakani, one of the last sugar plantations and then lived in Kalaheo, near Mt. Waialeale (the wettest spot on earth). I have resided most of my life in California. As a child I was deeply connected to nature. I sat under the trees, gazed at flowers and counted the petals. For hours, I would watch the bees visiting the flowers, hung out under redwood trees and connected with nature. I felt well outside in nature. As an adult, I reconnected to nature, realizing the direct connection of my well-being to the beauty of nature, the food I ate and the thoughts in my head. I have always had an innate sense of wisdom about using natural products on my skin and in my home and to eat foods that have been grown in a loving way. I am blessed with three adult daughters and live in California.

Mahalo for all of your support over the years! I wish you much joy, love, prosperity, health and laughter.

Aloha,

Joan

How I define “NATURAL”

Natural cosmetics are made from raw materials sourced from nature, such as plants and minerals and from a renewable natural source. The raw materials go through the least amount of processing and the processing methods cause the least impact to humans, animals and the earth. Natural cosmetics assist to beautify and promote radiant body, skin and hair. No petroleum ingredients are used. No animal testing is done.
